Bike Ride

On Sunday we went for a nice long bike ride.  Suzanne had recently been to Highland Village on Lake Lewisville for the first time checking out homes with Chimene and Dave, so we decided to check the area out up close.  Miss Carole watched the babies for us.

During part of our trip we left the common suburb neighborhoods and headed out into some less developed towns.  One of the roads we headed down had a nice long driveway and plenty of share, and had these two folks just sitting out enjoying the sunshine.

Much of the ride was driving down some nice bike and walking paths built along a high-power line access way.  On the way back we saw a roadrunner right off the path.  We pointed it out to Lauren, but I don't think she was all that impressed to see a road runner because she hasn't really ever seen the Roadrunner & Wile E. Coyote.  Kids these days!  We watched those cartoons so much as kids that our elementary school voted the Roadrunner as our mascot!  And we were in Vermont!

The first week we came to Texas we saw a couple roadrunners during our first drive out in the country.  Now 8 years later we see another one!

Passed this elementary school.   After Wikipedia'ing it we learned that there are many schools across the US named for Christa McAuliffe.  She was not from this area.

After the ride was done we drove over to Life's a Beach for lunch.  Our first time there, it has a sandy beach out back and lots of seating inside and out.  Not too much to do in the sand other than get sandy.  But the food and drinks were good!
